Summary: Awesome Book
Review: I think I have read this book three times and still love it. I don't think anyone I have ever read can come as close to showing the reality of life and the need for the Gospel as well as Spurgeon. He does it in a way where the Love of God will break your heart right then and there. This is the one book that I would give to any unbeliever that needs to know what exactely the Gospel is.

Summary: A powerful yet simple Gospel presentation
Review: Spurgeon's All of Grace is one of the best Gospel presentations I've ever read. He presents salvation by grace with such compassion and love that I find it difficult to see how anyone could reject his plea to call upon the Name of Christ. Although I was a Christian for some time before reading Spurgeon's work and although I already held to salvation by grace alone, I still found his work to be incredibly moving, both intellectually and emotionally. Spurgeon is truly a champion of the faith and this may be his best work.

Summary: Salvation for the lost
Review: Upon reading the first two chapters of this book I began to think that it was merely an introduction to Christianity with a simple gospel message, but as I read further it became apparent that this book is a wonderful wellspring of encouragement and truth for any believer, regardless of their walk with the Lord. Ch. 5 is especially powerful with the Grace of Jesus Christ giving us the power over all sin through faith that God can actually give us a new heart and a new spirit. Though this is impossible of our own devices, it is entirely possible through God, and through Him alone. It brings to light that though the Gospel message is not so complicated no person can understand its importance or meaning (else Christ's work on the cross would be for naught), the Gospel goes beyond the simple lay-person preaching that is so common today which is done in the name of supposedly "reaching everyone". Such preaching does not bring the lost to God, but rather gives them a false impression of what salvation is, and can lead to a desire for Christ for selfish gain rather than a desire to repent an pursue true Holiness. I highly recommend this book on the basis of the life-changing message which it promotes, and the resulting power of God from which such a change is instigated.

Summary: Salvation is All of Grace
Review: While I have often been disappointed with some of the Whitaker books of Charles Spurgeon for the editing, I greatly enjoyed this edition published by Moody Press. The book is indeed the actual sermons that Charles Spurgeon preached on the grace of God for our eternal salvation.

Spurgeon was a genius. There is simply no one to match him as a preacher in the English world. While his voice can never be heard, Spurgeon's sermons live on and this is a classic on grace. Too often we fail to understand the grace of God. Many claim God's grace for their sins but never truly repent from their sins (Jude 4). Many more claim grace but never pursue holiness (Titus 2:11-12). God's grace enables us to live for Christ from the start to the finish. In fact, apart from the grace of God no one could be saved (Romans 3:23-24; Eph. 2:8-9). Spurgeon clearly shows this from Acts 16:30-31.

For those longing to know more about the grace of God, this book will build up your knowledge and faith (2 Peter 3:18). While short, it carries a powerful and timeless message.
